> The problem: thinking models think too much

Analysis paralysis stifles not just human intelligence, but other intelligences too.

Need this done for DeepSeek, ideally one of the Flash models.

Well done, and great iteration.

The pareto frontier needs clearer distinction. Benchmarks miss half the story. What, if any, capability is lost by the token reduction (for example, was it like super awesome at Golang before and now kind of sucks? that kind of distinction).

It looks like it would be similar to GLM 5.3 Flash, had they tested it...

Ignoring for the moment issues of what "counts" as open, won't open models rapidly advance due to stuff like this in ways that it's less possible for the proprietary ones to do? This is exactly how Linux & Wikipedia, for example, overtook their "frontiers", right?

On the smaller end, Quen 3.8, while being extraordinarily capable for a small local model, also suffers from extreme thinking. I wonder if the techniques described here generalize to other models too.
